We could also say that if the first line of the image page is "No caption", then no caption is to be displayed, even if a [[Image: ... showtext]] requests it
I'd like to have a longer description on some figures, especially some of my self-drawn diagrams, which are far from self-explaining... :-)
So, how about defining the caption as "everything until the first horizontal line (----)"? We could have multiple lines on the description page, horizontal line, then the source and other information that doesn't really belong into the caption. "----" as the first line of the description would inhibit a caption automatically.
The "----" separation makes sense (a bit hackish), but I don't see the need for any forced inhibition if we make the captions optional (showtext) anyway.
I'd also like to repeat that an image page should ''always'' show the image it refers to, in its 1:1 dimensions.
